A Cocktail a Day Keeps The Doctor Away? One Study Says YES!

Tis' the season for holiday parties, and it's possible that the spiked eggnog might just help boost your immune system. No Kidding. Apparently a team of researchers in Oregon with obviously to much money and time on their hands, conducted a 14 month experiment during which they gave monkeys a 4 per cent alcohol cocktail.

What they concluded was that modest amounts of alcohol can stimulate the immune system. They concluded that moderate drinkers demonstrated an enhanced immune response, better even than a teetotaling control group.  I love good news during the holidays, don't you?
